15601,Cannot overwrite wp_set_password in pluggable.php,layotte,,"I was trying to force lowercase passwords (for a client), so I created a plugin called (CIP - Case Insensitive Passwords) that overwrote wp_set_password to force the password string to lowercase. But wp_set_password wouldn't overwrite... I have a test site with 0 plugins activated and the default 2010 theme activated. I also didn't see any other place where the wp_set_password function was being set:

{{{
$ cd latest.phrugal.com/
$ grep -R wp_set_password *
wp-content/plugins/CIP/case-insensitive-passwords.php:if ( !function_exists('wp_set_password') ) {
wp-content/plugins/CIP/case-insensitive-passwords.php:  function wp_set_password( $password, $user_id ) {
wp-includes/pluggable.php:                      wp_set_password($password, $user_id);
wp-includes/pluggable.php:if ( !function_exists('wp_set_password') ) :
wp-includes/pluggable.php:function wp_set_password( $password, $user_id ) {
wp-login.php:   wp_set_password($new_pass, $user->ID);
}}}

In the plugin, without the function_exists check I get this error, ""Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_set_password() (previously declared in /homepages/3/d238924033/htdocs/latest.phrugal.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php:1577) in /homepages/3/d238924033/htdocs/latest.phrugal.com/wp-content/plugins/CIP/case-insensitive-passwords.php on line 23""

{{{
function wp_set_password( $password, $user_id ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$password = strtolower( $password );
	
	$hash = wp_hash_password($password);
	$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array('user_pass' => $hash, 'user_activation_key' => ''), array('ID' => $user_id) );

	wp_cache_delete($user_id, 'users');
}
}}}

I am able to achieve what I want by setting the password to lowercase when I overwrite wp_hash_password so the issue I'm facing is trivial, but I don't understand why I'm having this trouble when trying to overwrite wp_set_password.
